Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. The remaining part of the question reads;
the first paragraph;
<em>I spent my teens and much of my twenties collecting printed rejections. Early on, my mother lost $61.20—a reading fee charged by a so-called agent to look at one of my unpublished stories. No one had told us that agents weren’t supposed to get any money upfront, weren’t supposed to be paid until they sold your work. Then they were to take ten percent of whatever the work earned. Ignorance is expensive. That $61.20 was more money back then than my mother paid for a month’s rent.</em>
The last sentence of the first paragraph (“That . . . month’s rent”) primarily serves to
A. <em>justify an action by invoking an ethical principle</em>
B. clarify a point by defining an ambiguous term
C. show how anecdotal evidence supports a claim
<em>D. provide meaningful context for a revealing statistic</em>
<em>E. demonstrate that a common practice has harmful effect</em>
Answer:
<u><em>D. provide a meaningful context for a revealing statistic</em></u>
Explanation:
By saying, "<em>That $61.20 was more money back then than my mother paid for a month’s rent" </em>the narrator had revealed a very interesting statistic about the value of money back then.
In other words, the context surrounding the statement helps the average reader quickly understand that a month's rent used to be <em>lesser</em> than $61.20; very interesting statistics at that.
The Scope of Systems Philosophy. As a philosophical endeavour Systems Philosophy is concerned with the classical purposes of philosophy, namely to: Clear up confusions in our concepts and ways of thinking (logic and analysis); Reflect on the nature of knowledge and how we can obtain it (epistemology);
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Each term after the second term is the average of all of the preceding terms
Required:
Explain how to solve the 2020th term
Solve the 2020th term
Solving the 2020th term of a sequence using conventional method may be a little bit difficult but in questions like this, it's not.
The very first thing to do is to solve for the third term;
The value of the third term is the value of every other term after the second term of the sequence; So, what I'll do is that I'll assign the value of the third term to the 2020th term
<em>This is proved as follows;</em>
From the question, we have that "..... each term after the second term is the average of all of the preceding terms", in other words the MEAN
<em>Assume n = 3</em>
<em>Multiply both sides by 2</em>
<em>Assume n = 4</em>
Substitute
Assume n = 5
Substitute and
<em>Replace 5 with n</em>
<em>(n-1) will definitely cancel out (n-1); So, we're left with</em>
Hence,
Calculating 
Recall that
